French Language

Discuss and learn French.

the word is " des Roneo";

the context is from the book about the french resistance in wwii;

a character is speaking about the underground newspapers, and how difficult it is to find the paper, to write the articles, get them to the people;

The full sentence is: "Rien ne peut etouffer la cri qui sort des Roneo, cachees dans de pauvres chambres, qui monte des presses, tapies au fond des caves."

Hi Isabelle,

"Ronéo" is a trademark. It's an antique copy machine that was used to print underground newspapers.
